 N INCITS/ISO/IEC 19795-7

Annotation

This part of ISO/IEC 19795 establishes a mechanism for measuring the core algorithmic capabilities of biometric comparison algorithms running on ISO/IEC 7816 integrated circuit cards. Specifically, this part of ISO/IEC 19795

— instantiates a mechanism for on-card biometric comparison testing;

— standardizes procedures for the measurement of the accuracy of on-card biometric comparison implementations running on object-based, test-specific sample cards;

— standardizes procedures for the measurement of durations of the various operations; and

— gives examples for matching ISO/IEC 19794-2:2005 compact card minutiae templates.

The following are specifically not within the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 19795:

— procedures for securing the communications channel, including cryptographic protection of the biometric templates;

— procedures for protection of sample or template integrity using digital signatures;

— authentication of the card and reader;

— selection or use of transmission protocols (e.g. contactless);

— profiles of specific data interchange standards;

— procedures for evaluation of readers, including performance, conformance and interoperability;

— procedures for evaluation of ruggedness or durability of the card;
